The Glory of God

The Glory of God: Life's purpose, His plan, Our everything. My prayer has been, "God, make your glory to come down on me! I want Your presence to be real in my life!" Several mornings ago, God showed me a prayer of Asaph, which he repeated three times in Psalm 80: " Turn us again to Yourself, O God. Make Your face shine down on us. Only then will we be saved." (Vs. 3,7,19) " Turn us again to Yourself.. ." Sometimes we are too weak to turn ourselves to Him. Might we ask Him to turn us to Him? Don't you think it will be a prayer He will answer? Are you "willing to be made willing"?

"Christ is all; and in all."

"Christ is all; and in all." (Colossians 3:11) Christian... Don't look for identity in what you do or who people say you are. Christ has made you a child of God! Don't seek protection in people you have in your life. Christ has made God to be your Protector in every situation. Don't look for acceptance from friends or people you respect. Christ has made you acceptable to God. Don't search for fulfillment in friendships. Christ has already said that you are His friend, and who could be a better friend than Jesus? Leave off the search for love in a boyfriend or girlfriend. Christ has made you complete in Himself! Never give in to the idea that you are as secure as the people and friends make you to be. Christ has given you eternal security in Himself! Don't seek to ease the guilt that comes when you fail by running to temporary pleasures! Christ has forgiven you once for all! You are washed in the blood and that never will need to be repeate

One Simple Gift; One Big Purpose

As I approached Him, I held in my hand everything that belonged to me. At first, I was doubtful as to whether or not this was a good idea. Give Him everything? What would He do with it? Could I trust Him? I grasped it tightly as every step I took brought me closer to the Throne of Grace. And then that battle took place. "Do you really want to give it to Him?" A voice inside my head seamed to ask.  "Well..." I searched for an answer. I knew it was the right thing to do, but doing it was getting harder and harder.
